There a promotion going on where you can buy any Verizon phone from Verizon's webiste, Amazon, or Wirefly and you'll get a 10% discount off your monthly bill. I found it through this deal site, Verizon Student Discount, it says you have to use their links to get to one of these stores, but it sounds like a good deal to me. I know some employers give discounts. Unfortunately not mine. Anyway, thought I'd share in my findings. I'll let you know how it works out.

I ended up going with the Verizon deal, using the link directly to Verizon's website. I didnt want to deal with having to be careful with Amazon/Wirelfy return policies. Anyway, I sent in my info and the discount showed up almost immediately. Thanks for all your help.
